BARCELONA (Reuters) - Lionel Messi is not thinking about breaking Telmo Zarra's La Liga scoring record of 251 goals despite having closed to within three of the former Athletic Bilbao and Spain forward.

Four-times World Player of the Year Messi has scored five times in Spain's top flight this season, including two against Granada last weekend, taking his overall tally to 248, and has a chance to add to his haul in Saturday's match at Rayo Vallecano.
